There was no opener and the ticket said 8:30 but she started more around 9 (I'm guessing cause the sun still wasn't set and she wanted to wait til it was dark enough.
Seating was awesome. We got there at about 8:10 and got a couple spots about 10 feet from the rail on the side opposite the VIP seating. The space felt much smaller and more intimate than I expected. oh my god though it was such an incredible experience, I'm excited to see what ya'll think.

The venue is so freaking beautiful. There really is not a bad seat in the house. There are GA bleachers on 3 sides in the back and 2 vip sections on two sides of the floor. I was right on the rail behind the amazing percussionist and could see everyone and everything clearly. What an amazing crowd, nearly no one had their cell phones up and it was pure silence to wait for the song to finish.

What he/she said. Take the Ferry if you can. It was really exciting crossing the bay and getting dropped off right infront of the venue and really beautiful going back to the city. Björk was even playing on the ferry with all the fans drinking and getting really amped for the show.

Re: Björk shows at Craneway (2013)

No opener. Björk went on around 9. Ended around 1045.

Honestly it was incredible. I was opposite the VIP seating and if you get there around 8 you can get a really great spot, although the Saturday show may have more early arrivals. The crowd was one of the best I have seen and Björk was fantastic. Everyone else who is going is in for such a treat.

Seeing her do Biophillia last night gave me a whole new appreciation for the album. The connection of nature, technology, and music is so apparent on stage and now the album makes so much more sense to me.

Re: Björk shows at Craneway (2013)

This sounds so good. I was hoping to go Tuesday but don't know if it's possible. With the ferry departing fucking pier 43 at 5.30 that is completely out of the question. Is it possible to get from sf to Richmond by car before 9 pm on a weekday if I wasn't leaving until 7.30?

Yeah, I don't think the traffic will that terrible at 7:30. It would help if you were carpooling but that seems like plenty of time to get to Richmond. Even if the traffic is bad its only about 20 miles so you should be fine. I lived in El Cerrito (just south of Richmond) about three years ago so I'm assuming that the traffic patterns haven't changed much since then.

That should be fine. For the 5/22 show, we left SF around 7:30 and parked on around 8:20'ish.

Parked on the street (harbor way), instead of going into the lot. It's a longer walk, but didn't have to mess around with traffic leaving the parking lot after the show.

Re: Björk shows at Craneway (2013)

Just been hearing epic type reviews for this show. So since the Palladium show ticket says 730 is it safe to assume 830ish start time ending around 1015? Just wondering since gonna be double dipping this w/ another party.
